The Wendell Cultural Council gathers community input every 3 years and develops funding priorities based on this feedback.
We give priority to:
• Local artists and community members
• Programs that take place within the town of Wendell, or that have Wendell resident participation
• Programs that contribute to our goals of funding programs that benefit diverse age, gender,race, and ethnicity populations in a wide variety of disciplines. In light of recent events and in consideration of the current climate in our country, applications that further respect and express appreciation for peoples who are subject to persecution or inequalities are welcomed, as are applications that recognize and raise awareness to global climate and environmental issues.
* Further, we recognize that there is a need in a small community such as ours to continue to provide support to organizations and programs that enrich the cultural experiences and life-long learning on an ongoing basis. Therefore, there is no limit placed on applications over consecutive years. However, with many extensions of programs carrying over into this next funding cycle due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, and in regard for the safety and health concerns of our citizens, we will be giving special consideration to applications that implement creative ways to reach their public benefit goals. This may encompass, but is not limited to learning and presentations that practice Covid-19 safety protocols such as social distancing and/or using remote or virtual platforms.
• Applicants that demonstrate prior planning, especially in regard to contacting local venues and gaining their support prior to submitting the application.
• Financial need. Because our mission is to provide a variety of disciplines to a wide range of our citizens, most funds approved fall within a range of $50 to $800. There is no formally set limit, however.
The Wendell Cultural Council will accept paper applications in addition to the online system. Paper applications can be provided electronically by the council upon request. They are also available at the Wendell Town offices, The Wendell Library (on request) and The Wendell Post Office.
